Budapest Rumbach utcai zsinagóga
The synagogue in Rumbach Street was built in 1872 to the design of the Viennese architect Otto Wagner
The Moorish Revival synagogue has eight sides and while the interior is badly in need of restoration, the octagonal, balconied, domed synagogue intricately patterned and painted in Islamic style is exquisitely beautiful. It was built not as an exact replica of, but as an homage to the style of the octagonal, domed Dome of the Rock Muslim shrine in Jerusalem.

"The Portico Library (or Portico Library and Gallery) on Mosley Street, Manchester, is a subscription library designed in the Greek Revival style between 1802 and 1806 by Thomas Harrison of Chester. It was designated a Grade II* listed building on 25 February 1952 and been described as "the most refined little building in Manchester".
The library was established as a result of a meeting of Manchester businessmen in 1802 which resolved to found an "institute uniting the advantages of a newsroom and a library". A visit by four of those men to the Athenaeum in Liverpool inspired them to achieve a similar institution in Manchester. Money was raised through members' subscriptions and the library opened in 1806.
The library, mainly focused on 19th century literature, was designed by Thomas Harrison, architect of Liverpool's Lyceum and built by one of the founders, David Bellhouse. One of the secretaries was Peter Mark Roget who began his famous Thesaurus here.
Today, the building accommodates an exhibition space and the ground floor is tenanted by The Bank public house which takes its name from the Bank of Athens which leased the property in 1921, while the library remains upstairs with its entrance on Charlotte Street." Wikipedia

Eine Bücherei im zweiten Stock über einem Club hätte ich nicht einfach so gefunden. Und niemals hätte ich erwartet, dass sie so hübsch ist.
Eigentlich war sie zu dem Zeitpunkt meines Besuchs gerade geschlossen, aber ich durfte trotzdem rein und sogar Fotos machen. Sehr nette Damen dort! (Sie haben auch eine eigene Homepage, aber die ist auf Englisch.)

This the ceiling of the Chapter Room at York Minster Cathedral. I laid on my back to take this and still could not capture the whole thing. I brought the wrong lens with me for this kind of photo but the beauty and symmetry of this architectural work of art had to be captured as best it could with the lens I had. The Cathedral Chapter is like a Vestry or board of directors who take care of the business of the cathedral.

Another upward shot from city center of Helsinki. Took just next to Forum Shopping center
Lately I've been too busy with my real work and photography-wise I've been hitting on glass ceiling. I know that I still have plenty of room to improve and level up, but right now it's like the inspiration has dried out completely

The Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh is famous for its Nationality Rooms ---real classrooms, but decorated to reflect various nationalities.
The Chinese room has one of the most ornate ceilings of all the Nationality Rooms. There was a large round table in the middle of the room. I sat down, stretched my arms as far as possible to place my camera, facing up, near the center of the table. (Luckily my screen can be rotated in any direction so I could see what was framed in the image.) I took a few shots. But the dragon was facing the wrong way, so I turned the photo 180º.
At this site, (www.nationalityrooms.pitt.edu) you can view photos of the rooms. Hold your cursor over a photo, then click on the country name to see a short video (2 to 5 min) about each of the 30 rooms.
The building was completed in 1937,. Most of these rooms were dedicated between 1938 and 1957, however newer rooms have been dedicated as recently as 2012. Other rooms are planned or under consideration for the future.
Much of the work on the building was done by immigrants from various countries. The rooms were meant to celebrate the heritage of the many immigrant communities in Pittsburgh. Representatives of each country were permitted to choose the decor of one classroom. Most represent a time from the late 1700's or earlier. There were a few rules they had to follow. There had to be a chalk board in the room. Usually it is hidden behind decorative cabinet doors. There had to be seating for students and a table or desk for the instructor. Several rooms are quite large and can hold classes for dozens of students, but many are smaller rooms suitable for a small group to sit around a table. Those that have desks usually have custom-made chairs in the style of the country with a writing arm desk on the right. The Turkish room has fold-down desk arms for both left and right-handed students.

The Bazaar of Kashan was built in the Seljuk era with renovations during the Safavid period. It is famous for its Persian architecture design.

Built as a monument to Freemasonry in Queensland and as a World War I memorial, the Masonic Temple is an exceptional example of an Australian Masonic Temple. The temple makes an importan contribution to the streetscape of Ann Street through the scale of its giant order Corinthian columns and its interiors, particularly the Grand Hall and the Court of Remembrance, are renowned for their grandeur. It is substantially intact both externally and internally and is held in high regard by the Masonic community.
The Grand Lodge Room, a large symmetrical open space with a vaulted coffered ceiling and stepped seating facing the centre, on the top floor seated 1100 people and was described in the Architecture and Building Journal in February 1928 as the ‘largest and finest of its kind in Australia’.
